Background: Exposure to high-altitude conditions during flight or similar activities affects many aspects of visual function, which is critical not only for flight safety but for any altitude-related activity. We aimed to summarize the available literature pertaining to ocular changes during flight or equivalent short-term high-altitude exposure (e.g.

- Dexamethasone intravitreal implant (Ozurdex) is effective in treating conditions like cystoid macular edema, but can rarely migrate to the anterior chamber, especially in eyes that have undergone vitrectomy.
- A case is reported where a 78-year-old woman experienced this migration after receiving the implant following cataract surgery and placement of a new scleral fixated lens (Carlevale IOL).
- The implant caused corneal edema, but removal of the implant led to improvement in her vision and stabilization of her condition one year later, indicating that complications can be resolved with prompt intervention.
To assess the agreement among four types of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements: IOP obtained by Goldmann applanation tonometer (IOP-GAT),IOP obtained by an air-puff tonometer (Nidek NT-510)(IOP-NCT), the non-corrected IOP obtained by the Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology (IOP-Corvis) and the biomechanically corrected IOP obtained by the Corvis ST (bIOP-Corvis) in healthy patients with a broad spectrum of IOP values. This prospective, observational study recruited 113 healthy individuals. Each patient underwent IOP evaluation via GAT, Nidek NT-510 and Corvis ST.
